Bulgaria is the latest in digitalization of business throughout the EU
The adoption of digital technologies by businesses has the potential to improve services and products, as well as increase competitiveness. The crisis required by COVID-19 also shows that digitalisation is a key tool for the effective economic sustainability of enterprises.
In 2020, only 1% of businesses in the EU with at least 10 employees have reached a very high level of digital intensity, and 14% have reached a high level. The majority of businesses report low (46%) or very low (39%) levels. Compared to 2018, the Digital Intensity Index (DII) shows a further improvement in the implementation of the EU, including an increase at both very high (+5.0 percentage points) and high (+0.4 pp).
The DII index measures the technology of various digital technologies by enterprises, a certain result (0-12) is determined by how many of the 12 selected digital technologies are used by businesses. The higher the result, the higher the digital intensity of the enterprise, which varies from very low to very high.
Eurostat data show that 9% of the largest businesses in the EU had a very high degree of digital intensity (DI) and 42% a high degree, while only 2% of medium-sized enterprises registered a very high degree of DI, and 1/4 (25%) – high degree of DI. Only 0.4% of small enterprises have reached a very high level of DI, and only 12% have reached a high level of DI. Almost half of medium-sized (47%) and small (46%) enterprises are at a low level of digital intensity.

Finland and Denmark (both 5% each), as well as Belgium (3%), are the EU countries with the largest highly digitalized businesses, while in the other countries they have at most 2% of businesses with a very high level of DI.
In contrast, in Bulgaria and Romania (both 66%), Greece (60%), Latvia (57%) and Hungary (53%), most businesses have very low levels of DI, indicating small investments in digital technologies. .
According to one of the goals of the EU’s vision for digital transformation by 2030, at least 90% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EU must reach a basic level of digital intensity. The basic level of supply of at least four technologies and includes businesses with low, high and very high degree of DI. In 2020, three out of five SMEs (60%) in the EU have reached the first basic level of digital intensity, while for large enterprises this percentage is 89%.
The Digital Intensity Index (DII) distinguishes four levels of digital intensity for each enterprise: 0 to 3 points means a very low level of digital intensity, 4 to 6 – low, 7 to 9 – high and 10 to 12 points – very high level of DII.
